We Americans love our lawns but we are addicted to high maintenance lawn care. Protecting our waters depends critically on changing how we care for our lawns. With input from independent grass seed scientists, I tested thousands of seed mixes to create a truly low maintenance, patent-pending solution. Once established, Pearl’s Premium rarely, or never, needs watering; grows very slowly and thrives without chemicals. The secret: roots that grow very deep, tapping into naturally-occurring moisture and nutrients to produce a healthy, barefoot soft lawn. I pledge that Pearl’s Premium will transform your lawn – as it has thousands of lawns. I encourage you to take the Pearl’s Premium pledge to save time, money, water and our Earth!
We recently seeded Pearl's Premium Grass Seed, both in Sun & Shade Mix and iShady Mix for different areas of our lawn. We followed the planting advice to the letter and within ten days our seeds were sprouting. Each day our lawn is getting thicker and richer. We planted on nearly an all-clay hill and the coverage is amazing. When it has totally filled out, we will add before and after photos. Well worth the price. We have called Pearls Premium's office and have spoken directly with Jackson Madnick. He was so generous with his time, walking us through every detail of the planting/watering process. The seeds are behaving exactly as he described. We are so excited to have a lush, green lawn where there was only a bare clay hill. LOVE this product!!
I ordered seed from Pearl's Premium almost 2 months ago and was excited to receive it. To date, despite numerous calls and e-mails, I have not received it though my credit card was charged right away. I understand that the company has been overwhelmed with orders but paying customers should at least receive status updates on their orders. I may cancel my order via my credit card since I cannot reach anyone at Pearl's. Very disappointing.
Fabulous low-maintenance grass seed. I live on Cape Ann and my landscaper used it five years ago it is amazing how strong it holds up and with a great green color. I highly recommend it.
This is my 2nd year growing Pearl's Premium. I have very dense shade with large oak trees in my front lawn. Nothing grows, not even weeds! I heard from my alumni network about this seed and decided to give it a try. Corresponded with Jackson, the founder, at least 10 times before finally giving it a go. The before and after photos speak for themselves. Just a great grass. Some points: - This grass is very amazing but all living plants need specific conditions to spout. You need to put down compost/topsoil if your soil is hard or deplete of nutrients. I also aerated a month before and added sulphur to correct the pH - I initially put the seed too deep while raking it in. It didn't come up until we had a lot of rain and washed off the extra topsoil and the sprouts emerged. Be careful to cover it lightly - You cannot let any grass seed dry out which means covering it properly with compost/peat moss/straw etc and running your sprinklers twice a day to get it established In a community where people really are looking for a golf course type lawn, mine does look very good. An emerald green lush meadow! I have some spots to fill in next season but that seems easy to do now. I have a few weeds in some bare spots but it's my choice to have a natural, beautiful living lawn instead of one that is full of chemicals. I get compliments on it from strangers as they pass so it looks good! My HOA is quite surprised that grass can grow given those 3 large trees pull moisture and shade the lawn so much. Before, during seeding, and after photos below. Will be converting my back lawn next season. Would highly recommend to all.
Hands down, this is the best grass seed on the market. I have used Pearl's for over 10 years on multiple properties and the results never disappoint. We are consistently the best lawn our neighborhood. Our landscaper now refers Pearls to his clients based on the results he has seen from our lawns. This past July was a terribly hot and dry month in our region and I thought for sure our lawn was done as we do not have an irrigation system yet. Within 2 weeks in August, the grass came back to it's full glory. Advice: Don't balk on the price...it's worth every penny.
After a multi-year major house renovation/construction zone yard, we wanted to put in a lawn at our weekend place in Maine that didn't require much maintenance or watering but looked nice and felt great on bare feet. Our boys are 6, 8, and 14, and we have two Labradors, so it had to be fairly durable as well. I did a lot of research and discovered Pearl's Premium, and I'm happy to say it's been a terrific experience! These are pics of the lawn three years after I installed it. It's generally met all my expectations, although to be fair, it isn't magic grass. You do have to mow it regularly, but somewhat less than typical grass. Without question, we have the best lawn in the neighborhood. I probably fertilize it twice a summer, which really helps it stay thick and choke out 90% of the weeds that try to move in (we'll hand pull the rest). I'm now installing another lawn at our house in MA, and after doing lots of research again just to see what's out there, I came back to Pearl's Premium because I know Jackson takes so seriously his mission to improve his non-GMO grass with each generation. As thrilled as my wife and family have been with our lawn in Maine - we marvel at it each time we get out of the car when we arrive for the weekend - I suspect we'll be even happier with the current generation I'm about to put down at our house in MA!
I live on an acreage . Having green grass without watering (once established)was just a dream. This grass is better then most lawns in the city ive found. I have had this grass for 1.5 yrs now. Im still trying to get the backyard established. (Having issues with wind 60km+ blowing my soil away and heavy rains but whats already established is nice) My family/friends have given me alot of compliments on this lawn. I can walk bare foot in the grass and its super soft. Emerald green for color. Next year ill update my review with more pics of the lawn as is.
I bought my seed from Pearl's Premium in 2008 after a neighbor told me about a segment she saw on WCVB-T.V.'s Chronicle and I had the lawn professionally installed by their team. I also did re-seeding years after, the most recent one this fall with the newly updated mix (which is fantastic!). If you follow the directions very carefully, doing step-by-step everything that's described on their website, you get an amazing low maintenance lawn. But you need to learn a lot about the right way to do grass before you install this lawn. Yes, it does have a few weeds because I don't bother to pull them but it's not bad at all. When I get to it in March, if I put down corn gluten (also on their website) it prevents the weeds from germinating. But I don't always get to do it. Cutting it with a sharp blade at 4 inches or higher is super important too because it keeps the roots shaded preventing the weeds to emerge. The very common lawn "shaving" to 1 inch or so is the worst one can do to grass and a lawn's health. The amazing part is that yes, you do cut it once/month because it grows that slow, it is organic, drought resistant (I don't have an irrigation system nor do I plan to put one in) and it's the most responsible environmentally sound choice that's around and in terms of protecting your and your family's health. The grass's roots are very deep making it hard for pests to get in (very few to no grubs in my lawn). The honesty, hard work and dedication of this company's owner and its employees are standards of work ethic and solidity of the product they've developed. I don't have enough good words about Pearl's Premium grass seed!
I have a yard with dense shade, and was amazed to see how well this grass seed works!
Great seed!
Last year (2022) our lawn was in terrible shape. We purchased a bag of Pearls Premium grass seed and when the lawn came in it was like a carpet, thick and lush. We will never use anything else ever again.
Pearls premium grass seeds Is an excellent product I ve used it for at least six years and every time I use it grass sprouts much much faster than other grass seeds and the quality of the grass is so much better this new batch is even better than the past.
My husband and I decided to redo our back lawn this year, so we spent 6 weeks with it covered with black tarps. During this time I researched grass seed, and talked to people about their experiences. Over and over we heard about Pearls Premium Grass Seed, so we decided to give it a try. I can say without qualification that this was a great decision. I actually met Jackson, the owner, when I picked up my grass seed and he was full of tips and gave me some guidance materials that have helped immensely. They have followed up several times to make sure all is well, and have been immediately responsive when I have questions. I would highly recommend this product. You will not regret it. Dianne & Ken B
Ive been using this companys seed for over a decade at two different houses. Its great. Less mowing. Less water. A more responsible lawn option. Last year, I used up the rest of what I had previously purchased, and I kept checking at the Whole Foods but it was never in stock. So late this spring, I finally just ordered some on-line from the company. I made some kind of mistake, but instead of processing my order and leaving me with more seed than my little city plot could use in 20 years, the owner Jackson, called me up and left me a voicemail to check-in about my purchase. We played a couple of rounds of phone-tag, and when we ultimately connected, he was lovely to talk with. He followed-up to cancel the extra bags I hadnt meant to order and let me know how much work theyve done since I first started using their product to make it even better. In the fall, when the weather is cooler, I look forward to filling in the couple patches weve worn-in on our lawn. And Ill feel great about supporting a local innovator who was so supportive of me!
This is the best grass seed you can buy. The yard requires little maintenance and look beautiful.
Placed an order over a month ago with no shipment. Reached out via email and phone with no response.
we have used pearls premium grass seed for years and have always been pleased with green lawn, minimal (once a month) mowing at 3 length and minimal watering during extreme heat of summer.
Best grass Ive ever had. Brought this grass seed last year, the shade mix. Only watered it about 2 times and the grass basically still looks perfect. It literally took care of itself. Now I just seeded the front yard, and cant wait to see the results!!!!
It s a higher priced product for sure, but worth the extra coin if you have it. Compared to a other mixes, it s much more noticeably lush, green, and seems to do better in extreme conditions. The germination rate seems to be about average or above compared to other mixes.
I asked my landscaper to help me find a grass seed that did not need watering. He thought I was crazy since I lived in Michigan and everybody waters their lawn. But, we found Pearls Premium and I love it! What I loved the most about this grass is how green it stays throughout the entire summer. Regular lawns need constant watering in July and August (despite it raining quite frequently in Michigan). However, I was able to keep a green lawn without ever pulling out the sprinkler and without every needing an irrigation system (except the first season - I placed temporary sprinklers on a timer and rotated them - but after the first season, I never needed to water the lawn). A small amount of organic fertilizer went a long way! Once the weeds were gone (really after one or 2 applications by the lawn company), the lawn grew in thick enough to suppress almost all the weeds naturally. I only ever needed spot treatments after the lawn was established. In terms of growth, it can grow quickly in the spring and fall when the weather is mild and tons of rain. Add to that fertilization, and it did need mowing once a week. Growth slowed during the hot summer and I got away with every other week. Seeding it was not as easy as I thought, though. After battling with weeds, i decided to bring in a lawn care company and shortly after that (within 2 months), I got the results I was looking for! I moved 2 years ago and ordered more seed for my new house. Thank you Pearls Premium!
This seed has grown and flourished in parts of my yard that all of the other grass seeds did not. Nice soft grass and it is very low maintenance.
No-one believes Ive watered but three times this summer and its still thick and dark green. I love this stuff.
As a professional in ecological design and management, I first used Pearls Premium grass seed a decade ago. It has continued to exceed my expectations ever since. Its worth every penny, to me and to the planet. The extreme drought this summer barely slowed it down. It plays nicely with wildflowers in my pollinator meadow. It forms a lush strip in the center of my clamshell driveway. The grass mix seldom needs mowing because it focuses on deep healthy root growth, not just showy shoots. Any negative reviews on this site are from people who know little about growing grass, let alone cultivating healthy habitats.
Ditto super soft durable grass with root system crowding out all (all means all) weeds in just one season: probably the best lawn investment of the century!
They eventually sent me the seed after about a month of asking them questions via email and never getting a response. No idea how good the seed is yet.
This is amazing grass seed. Started with fresh loam and within 2 weeks of planting, the grass was already starting to look good. Stayed green all winter long, even after being under the snow for weeks at a time! I now have the greenest lawn on the street. I have yet to observe long term results, however I have no doubt that it will live up to expectations.
Cant get it delivered. The guy is friendly but full of excuses why it hasnt arrived. Been a month now and nothing. Dont know if it works if I cant get it. Dont want the seed in August.
Conceptually a great product, but utterly fails to deliver. Simply does not germinate. I followed the directions to the last letter including purchasing their clove-based grass killer and their Hydretain Water Retention Product. This stuff is EXPENSIVE! I expect it to work. I don t know if they stored the seed in a hot warehouse for 3 years, but maybe 10% of the seed germinated. It took so much water to keep the seedlings alive that the weeds went nuts and killed off the few grass plants that grew. I ended up with a yard of weeds and had to start over the next year. I recommend Jonathan Green Black Beauty or Water Saver RTF, both are FAR superior to Pearls germinate easily, grow quickly and actually grow the deep roots that Pearls advertised at a fraction of the cost.
Overall I m really happy with the outcome of my new lawn using Pearls Premium grass seed. I hydroseeded my lawn using Pearls Premium grass seed on September 4th of this year . I started seeing germination about 7 days after that . Now I have a relatively full lawn. There is some weak spots , however my area has had a ridiculous amount of rain . I ll reseed those weak spots in the spring . Jackson the owner always answers the phone when I call and takes the time to answer my questions .
This is the real deal. My grass has never looked so good!
This is by far, the best grass seed we have ever used!!!! We live in the Southern CA Desert, where there are extremes in temperature and very little rain...we planted our seed one year ago in March, so it has survived a complete year of weather extremes...there is more than one best thing about this grass seed...we needed grass that required less water, since we really need to conserve here...it is beautiful, lush, and dark green all year for us...we are in the land of, what they refer to as scalping lawns here, in September...no need...if you leave the cut at 3 1/2 in., then the grass needs little care...less water, fewer mows, and happier homeowners!!!! our grass is also doggie friendly...virtually no yellow grass anymore!!!! Yay...too bad the rest of our Desert community is not aware of this wonderful product...but then again, maybe they are not ready for it...they LOVE to mow every week around here...with Pearls Premium, you definitely do not do that!!! More time to relax and enjoy life now...Thanks to Pearls!!!!
Our lawn has looked so poorly for so many years. It was, frankly, the embarrassment of the neighborhood - and especially so since it was a corner lot. But my next door neighbor greeted me yesterday by calling me King of the Grass. Finally !!!
After losing 4 full sun lawns because of Braintree water restrictions every year from June till September, I found Pearls Premium Sunny mix grass seed. Its roots grow deep, require minimal watering and best of all needs less mowing during the growing season. It has been 5 years since it was installed and I couldnt be more pleased. the grass stays green in summer when my neighbors lawns turn brown. I highly recommend this product .
We are senior citizens and we dont get exhausted cutting Pearls Premium slow growing grass. Also we love Pearls Premium grass because its rich color sets off our gardens so beautifully.
I did a lot of research and considered many grasses for my Northern California drought-affected lawn. I then found Peals Premium. It seemed to meet all my needs. It arrived as promised directly from PearlsPremium and I followed every instruction on the bag. About a month later I had wonderful, luscious lawn. Soft and light on my feet. I am thrilled with the results and as my wife says, for once, I had followed the instructions exactly with no shortcuts. The results showed. Maybe buying directly from them ensured authenticity of seeds. This lawn is the pride of the neighborhood. Highly recommend PearlsPremium and when Ive reached out with general questions, their friendliness has been remarkable. Go get it, I say
I ve ordered seed from Pearls Premium twice now. Excellent seed that starts growing quickly and truly is low to no water once established. I m in San Diego where it gets hot in the summer, so you do need to water a few times then, otherwise, it s very low water. Looks great and easy for maintaining!
I purchased this grass seed and planted October 1 and followed the instructions completely - and ended up with a beautiful dark green grass that was soft and really not like anything I have seen before, simply beautiful. Forward to January and after ice and snow storms lawn still looks beautiful. When I planted the seed I contacted the company directly and got right through to the owner and went over seeding instructions and I followed them and was well rewarded. I have to admit I had a section of lawn that was cleared of some shrub over growth about two weeks later and I just threw some of the grass seed over it and within a week I had the same beautiful grass, I was very pleased and impressed with this. Just to be clear though for over seeding a lawn, which is what I did and tough soil, which is what I have, you need to follow the directions completely and the initial watering is key to the success. Like anything, the rewards are well worth following the directions!
Laid the seeds this past Fall. Will know next Fall if it survives the first season. So far, growth is low (as expected) but germination also seems (Lucy) lower than expected.
